In Classic Clintonian Fashion, Dems Insult Their Own Voters

[FreakinDJ]

From brilliant responses to sex scandals to impossible smoke-but-not-inhale policy hedges to calculated collapses on everything from gay rights to financial deregulation, the Clinton Dems over the years have proven themselves masters of messaging and political survival.






They've turned the act of choosing winning over principle into an art form. The latest trick? Insulting their own voters at the start of a race. It would be unbelievable, if they hadn't spent decades preparing us to believe it.

The background for the latest chutzpah-rich gambit has been an alarming slide in Hillary Clinton's recent polling numbers. A series of different surveys have all shown that in the wake of her email scandal and revelations about the Clinton Foundation, Hillary's negatives have jumped, and her positives are way down.

"Less than 50 percent of respondents" have favorable feelings about the candidate, as Michael Barone at Real Clear Politics put it.

In response, the Clinton campaign is launching a campaign to fire up the liberal base. They're going to accomplish this, they say, by having Hillary adopt "polarizing" positions she doesn't actually believe in. This comes via a trial balloon the campaign itself floated in The New York Times over the weekend.

2. That article nais it.

If the Democratic Party had the stones to dive into that issue with both feet, they would build a true bipartisan coalition overnight and keep the White House for decades.

Instead, they use leaks like this Times piece to reassure donors the anti-Wall Street rhetoric coming is all talk. Doing the right thing is so totally alien to them that they feel they need to apologize before they do it.

7. The last sentence explains the Democratic Party perfectly.

Doing the right thing is so totally alien to them that they feel they need to apologize before they do it.

So sad but so damn true.

3. Hopefully Some Hillary Supporters Will Figure Things Out

Obama spoke quite like Bernie campaigning in 2008. Go back and look at it, you cannot escape the fact that it was lip service.

HRC is Wall Street Democrat through and through. She has taken multiple millions from Wall Street....she is going to come down on them? She is so tied, financially and otherwise, to the military/security state as well. The "Deep State" that is running it all.

The longer we wait to try to take this nation back from this robber baron on steroids era the harder it will be to even semi undo it. I urge people to pore through Thomas Piketty's book "Capital In The 21st Century", we are up against it.
